Blackstone River Greenway

As of 2016, approximately 11.5 miles (18.5 km) of the trail has been completed in Rhode Island, connecting the communities of Woonsocket, Lincoln, Cumberland, and Manville.

[1] Once finished, the greenway will be linked to the East Bay Bike Path, for an additional 14.5 miles (23.3 km) of trail to Bristol, Rhode Island.

[3] In August 2007, a bridge reconstruction project at Martin Street in Lincoln was completed, ending a three-year bike path closure.

The new bridge incorporated a major safety improvement with the path passing underneath Martin Street instead of meeting it at grade.

In 2011, an 8.5 miles (13.7 km) segment of on-road bicycle lanes opened connecting the Blackstone River Greenway with the East Bay Bike Path, starting in Providence.

Additional projects are under design to extend the path further through Woonsocket, connecting existing segments, as well as through the cities of Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls.

Construction was delayed due to a lack of state funds, a shortfall attributed to the over-budget Big Dig highway tunnel project in Boston.
